Growth and grazing mortality of microbial plankton in a shallow temperate Coast...
Santos, Yohann; Mosley, Benjamin A.; Nogueira, Patricia; Galvão, Helena; Domingues, RitaMicrozooplankton grazing is widely recognized as an important process of heterotrophic prokaryote and phytoplankton biomass removal. However, few studies have specifically addressed microbial mortality in the Ria Formosa coastal lagoon. This study aimed to assess the growth and mortality of heterotrophic prokaryotes and phytoplankton in this ecosystem using the dilution technique. The results revealed significa...
Short-term effects of climate change on Planktonic Heterotrophic Prokaryotes in...
Barbosa, Ana; Mosley, Benjamin A.; Galvão, Helena; Domingues, RitaPlanktonic heterotrophic prokaryotes (HProks) are a pivotal functional group in marine ecosystems and are highly sensitive to environmental variability and climate change. This study aimed to investigate the short-term effects of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2 ), ultraviolet radiation (UVR), and temperature on natural assemblages of HProks in the Ria Formosa coastal lagoon during winter. Two multi-stressor micr...
Duration, but not bottle volume, affects Phytoplankton Community Structure and ...
B. Domingues, Rita; Mosley, Benjamin A.; Nogueira, Patricia; Maia, Inês Beatriz; B. Barbosa, AnaIt is generally assumed that the larger the bottle volume, the longer the duration of phytoplankton microcosm experiments. We hypothesize that volume and duration are independent, as volume does not regulate the extension of the exponential growth phase. We conducted two microcosm experiments using 1, 2, and 8 L bottles, inoculated with phytoplankton collected in the Ria Formosa lagoon (SE Portugal) and incubat...

Risk Awareness and Quality of Life of a Coastal Community Exposed to Environmen...
Nogueira, Patrícia; Faria, Silvana; Mosley, Benjamin A.; Domingues, Rita B.Luanda Bay and Mussulo Lagoon, situated in Luanda (Angola), are two coastal ecosystems highly sensitive to environmental issues, such as climate change, water pollution, eutrophication, and harmful algal blooms. These environmental problems can severely affect the quality of life of coastal populations. In this study, we aim to evaluate several psychological variables, such as environmental ...
Characterization of Small-Scale Fishing Activity in Luanda Bay (Angola)
Faria, Silvana; Macuéria, Marisa; Mosley, Benjamin A.; Teodósio, M. Alexandra; Baptista, VâniaLuanda Bay, the second largest bay and one of the most important ecosystems of the Angolan coast, supports many human activities. This bay supports a range of marine biodiversity that serves as a means of livelihood and source of income for more than fifty small-scale artisanal fisheries and collectors of worms and bivalve molluscs. The present study is the first record of this fishing activ...
